I was most impacted by the part about forgiveness and understanding the apology language. We didn’t even know there was a language for it. The conference hosts and The Lloyds made this a great day!

I learned how to create a safe environment for my fiancé so we can say what we need from each other in a healthy way and figure out how to move forward together.

On a scale of 1-10 our level of connection was 2-3. Now after just 4 Marriage sessions we both agree that our level of connection has increased to 6-7!

I learned that we need to develop ourselves individually and that will have a positive impact on our relationship overall. For example, if I know what is important to me, I won’t make compromises where I feel like I lose. Instead, I will make agreements with my fiancé that I can commit to for a healthy outcome for me and us.

The Marriage sessions reminded me that I need to communicate with my wife more like I did before we got married. I was more patient, listened more and I really wanted to get to know her more. The Lloyds gave us the tools to do this on an ongoing basis in our marriage.

One of my key takeaways is that we each handle situations differently. I had no idea how big of a role our childhood plays in how we interact with our partner as adults.

Our trust level was at 0% when we started Marriage sessions with The Lloyds. Now it’s already up to 50% because we have consistently applied the tools we’ve learned. I have set personal boundaries and guidelines for transparency to ensure my wife has what she needs to continue to build trust and reconciliation in our marriage.

These counseling sessions are the best thing that has ever happened to us in our relationship! We have learned so much about ourselves and each other, which would have normally take us years to discover.

I’m committed to work on opening up more with my husband and giving him the benefit of the doubt that it is safe to share my concerns him. I’ve become aware that my passionate tone of voice can trigger him, which can make our home environment unsafe. These sessions have given me the tools to make the adjustments for a healthier marriage.

We are in a good place now. I have been practicing the tools I learned to apply patience and self-awareness. Before interacting with my wife I become aware of my self-talk and correct anything negative toward her before I have a conversation. I am also doing more personal devotion to increase my individual awareness.
